Stags Lead Nation In Double Plays

May 19, 2011

CMS finished the season with 56 double plays in 39 games and will lead the nation in the final Division III statistics with 1.44 double plays/game. The next closest team is 0.25/game behind the Stags. Among all three NCAA Divisions, only Southern Mississippi (currently ranked #14 in Division I) has more double plays per game (1.46).

"The importance of the double play is off the chart when shutting down an opponent's offense. The fact we turned 56 DP's in 39 games including 18 different types and 32 different combinations of players is amazing and a credit to our players"
